U.V. Flatbed Market Trends

“I.T. Strategies segments the UV inkjet sector into four areas—low-end and high-end flatbed and roll-to-roll, all of which experienced growth. UV inkjet printer unit sales are forecast to grow from 2,801 printers in 2009 to 4,386 printers in 2014, a CAGR of nine percent. Low-end flatbed UV inkjet printers continue to be the largest segment of UV inkjet printer sales, growing from 1,666 printers in 2009 to 2,609 in 2014, a CAGR of nine percent”

U.V. Flatbed Market Trends

“The growth in UV inkjet printers—both flatbed and roll-to-roll—opens up high-volume digital and screen markets to UV solutions at the expense of solvent inkjet and screen printing. PFP shops continue to consolidate demand on highly productive UV printers that can run at lower ink costs with a smaller staff”

I.T. Strategies

U.V. inks do not contain components that evaporate, so less ink per square printing unit is used. UV inks cure, or set, by chemical reaction from exposure to ultraviolet light. Profiling UV Ink is easier than other types of ink due to less dot gain during printing. Some U.V. Inks are solvent free.

Two different types of Curing Technology

L.E.D. Lamps vs. Mercury Vapor Lamps

L.E.D Curing

Lamp Arrays typically last 10,000 – 15,000 hours. Due to the lack of U.V. intensity, device print speeds are generally 100 sq ft hr or less. Cost to replace Lamp Arrays generally equal the same amount of $ over the same period as Mercury Vapor Curing lamps.

Mercury Vapor Curing

Lamp Arrays typically last 500 hours. As a result of high U.V. intensity, device print speeds can be as high as 3000 sq ft hr. Cost to replace Mercury Vapor Curing lamps generally equal the same amount of $ over the same period as U.V. Lamp arrays.

U.V. Technology Opens New Vertical Market Opportunities

Digital UV Flatbed technology opens up entire new markets to print service providers. The fact that UV Ink adheres to almost any substrate allows printing applications in many previously unreachable industries. Some of these include, industrial metal marking, fine art mirror and glass displays, mass customization during manufacturing processes and vacuum forming operations.
